MK is run by a very respectable fellow..origionaly from St Louis. His M14
rewelds were perfect...I am a Class II- 07 lisencee...and have done my share
of manufacturing.......but MK's work is great. Gene is right about what ATF
did to him....even with a BATF Tech Branch letter...he gets raided.
He is now making his own receiver from scratch..........
Its a shame.......remember...the rules change by the minute.
